Synology DVA1622 Network Surveillance Server

The Network Surveillance Server Synology DVA1622 is a compact 2-bay desktop recording server designed for home and small business video surveillance. Powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 processor and 6 GB DDR4 RAM, it combines local storage support for 3.5" SATA HDDs (up to the product's specified capacity) with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to provide reliable recording, playback and AI-enabled analytics in a tower chassis.

Advantages

The DVA1622 integrates deep learning–based algorithms for automated event detection of people, vehicles, and objects, converting video into actionable security insights. It runs Synology Surveillance Station on DSM for centralised video management, offers dynamic site maps with direct access to camera feeds, and supports centralized management across multiple Synology NVR and NAS systems. The solution is compact, energy-efficient (single fan), and suitable for fast deployment of new or existing cameras.

How to use

Install compatible 3.5" SATA hard drives into the two drive bays, connect the DVA1622 to your network via Gigabit Ethernet, and power on the unit. Use Synology DSM to install and configure Surveillance Station, add cameras, and enable the built‑in AI analytics for person, vehicle, and object detection. Configure recording schedules, storage pools and RAID according to your retention needs, and set alert rules to notify staff when thresholds or custom rules are triggered.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, place the tower in a ventilated area and ensure drives meet Synology compatibility lists. Use RAID for data redundancy if continuous recording retention is required, and keep DSM and Surveillance Station updated to benefit from the latest security and AI improvements.
